Pulling out my PM OP, he measures up to just passed the 10 inch mark in Super Mode.

"When there's gold feathers, punch behind you!!"“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”-- C.S. Lewis

I know I can be sketchy sometimesdon't necessarily understand what I read on the internet with no frame of reference,but where I own or have seen a thing in person that's far less likely.

Powermaster Opt is much more plasticy looking and has a totally different proportion and appearance.

The one in the Korean toys page linked off of wiki was likely to have been produced from of some pre-existing mold right The Korean one is probably the one ironrodprime already showed -- But there is a Red U.S. version that exists because my friend had it.

Are you sure it isn't a simple case of (mis)remembering it to have been bigger than it really was since you were smaller as a kid than you are now?

Yeah, but it wouldn't have been available until after 2004, so nice try but no cigar.

Nowe had my brother's at home and it never impressed me as being anywhere near so large.The first thing my sister said when I mentioned it just now to her was ''oh yeah it was big wasn't it'' (not having any idea I was discussing this)I only asked her if she remebered it and that's what she said..and my brother just added he wished he had one like it..so do I.

The larger one could have been a bootleg but it was properly colored.... RedI don't remember what the patent or Co. info actually read I just remember spotting it on the toy and looking at it but that's so long ago.

Long before I actively joined the online fandom, there was a time where I was of the impression that the various Transformers cartoons and movies held the highest regard of canon truth for Transformers fiction, with comics, books, video games, etc. being lesser mediums whose stories were just something for non-serious fun instead of being anything that important, making them either not matter at all or be overridden by what the cartoons/movies stated if they did not match up with the cartoon/movie versions.

This mostly came from having relatively easy access and more exposure to the cartoons/movies than any other mediums at the time.

When Animated first aired, I thought Megatron's name in that show was actually Megaton, because the description on my tv for the episode 'Megatron Rising" misspelled it 'Mega-ton Rising'. I don't remember how long this misconception lasted for me.

His name is actually based on the idea of nuclear fusion weapons and so his name was partially derived from the particle accelerator and the idea of a "megaton" blast.

For an idea of the particle accelerator, watch the movie "The Void" starring Adrian Paul from shows like Highlander, and Tracker (Tracker is one of my personal favs for low budget )

The coward desires revenge but being afraid to die, he looks to others, maybe to the government of the day, to do the work of defense for him.
